 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished up the half day tour with Reef Adventures and can’t recommend it enough. Super friendly and helpful staff, who have your safety in mind all the time. The part of the reef they take you to is beautiful, and we were up close with turtles, manta rays, reef sharks and beautiful fish. Super affordable price too compared to others.
